Baldur’s Gate 3‘s gunslinging is brought to you by Tet42 on Nexus Mods, who originally devised it as a Paladin subclass for the RPG game before re-implementing it into “a standalone hybrid Fighter/Battlemaster type class that uses firearms and deals ranged force damage smites.”
This mod introduces some cool class features, with Tet42 explaining that “All new Gunslingers begin the game with a worn-out Gunslinger revolver. There are ways to clean it up and upgrade it. Look around and you will find what you seek. A total of 5 guns exist. Two unique models and three unique skins. The Gunslinger’s revolver will take you all the way to the end game if you find the upgrades you need.” Originally uploaded on February 27, 2024, you can download the mod here.
